Behind The Castle's

**SO?**

"Your eyes are swollen Vic"

This is the third time Diana said if her eyes are swollen, but without saying Victoria can see a lump not beautiful that makes her eyes like they were stung by bees.

"What's up, Vic? you're coming home on the middle of the road, please tell me anything Vic"

Victoria kept staring at the mirror with occasional glances at Diana's face that was almost crying. Victoria finally got tired

"Vix....."

"If you saw someone who suddenly fell in love with someone who had a hand in the murder of your family, would you feel weird?"

Victoria's words clearly made Diana flinch, although Victoria did not explain the specifics but, Diana was not too stupid to understand who the direction of their conversation was

"You.....????"

"Jawab only In"

Silent...... Silence filled the room space, Diana thought hard and took corners in all directions to answer, but she was also not too intelligent to catch or understand the sudden words of her nonan.

"I'm confused Vic"

Victoria nodded in understanding

"Tell me from someone else's point of view"

"If from someone else's point of view I don't know Vic, but, if it's from my point of view..." Diana bit her lips with concern, but while staring at the face waiting for Victoria from the front of the mirror made her try to give an answer. "I never fell in love with Vic, but some of the novels I read or some theater stories, nothing strange, because love can grow anywhere and anytime. Feelings no one can manage"

"In...?"

"Yes Vic"

"Do you think His Highness likes me?"

This time Diana smiled faintly and looked at Victoria confidently

"From the way he looked at you, there was obviously a lot of admiration and desire for you. Is that the same as liking?"

Victoria grinning. Diana who stared at Victoria's grin shuddered for some reason.

"All right..."

"You like Your Highness Vic?"

Although this time Diana was presumptuous enough to cross her line, but the question just slid from her mouth. Diana grimaced

"I'm sorry...."

"If anyone asks you about this. Just answer 'yes' Di"

After a conversation with a topic that was suspicious enough for Diana, silence again circled around them. Until Diana had finished her hair, Victoria smiled sweetly and very wide

"In, let's go to the western palace"

--0000---0000--

Jeremmy continued to pour the perclamen rolls and the papers he took out of the box. Next to him a lazy man with a bored face and movement was forced to read one by one perkalamen which Jeremmy opened until the sound of knocking on the door was heard.

Jeremmy waited for the voice behind the door

"This is Lady Victoria coming, Your Highness"

The speech behind the door made a perclamen dings sound onto the table. The man next to Jeremmy with the contents of his head that seemed to have been released immediately straightened his body but, he had not had time to step, Jeremmy immediately stopped him.

"It's still waiting for Your Highness"

With a stern look, Jeremmy glanced at the boxes and clerks strewn across the table, even tumbling to the floor

"It is impolite to make a Lady wait for Jer, ak...."

"I will open it, you please continue or I will ask Captain Edward to take my place"

Hearing Jeremmy's words implied a threat made Fredrick curse. Oohh. He really doesn't want to work with Edward, other than because Edward would be more annoying than Jeremmy he's stupid too. Until now he still does not understand why his father at home working with Edward.

"Good day Your Highness"

A girl's voice made Fredrick return his focus and looked at Diana who was looking down on him then immediately glanced next to Diana. The place where Victoria stood with a faint smile looked at the contents of her desk

"Am I interrupting?"

"Of course not Vic"

"Extheem"

Deheman Jeremmy made Fredrick glare at him, but Jeremmy indifferently ignored Fredrick and looked at Victoria while bowing his head

"I'm sorry My Lady, actually His Highness is at work"

"Not this is done"

"We're just starting My Lady"

"No Vic, Jeremmy was just kidding, it's all over I checked"

One of Victoria's eyebrows swooped high and looked at the two men who were arguing and still arguing. Until Victoria stepped forward and grabbed a roll of perclaimen on the table and read it

Fredrick and Jeremmy immediately shut their mouths when they saw Victoria who seemed to be thinking with a hand that held the perklamen

"Hhmm yeah..."

Fredrick's short answer made Victoria grab another scroll

"Hospital facility report?"

"Yes..."

Jeremmy and Diana glanced at each other as Victoria raised a single perklamen

"Aaahh. evaluation after food withdrawal from Duchy...." Victoria glanced at Fredrick whose face was now getting serious. "Duchy Albany...."

"really"

With a serious perspective and a confident answer, Fredrick tried to understand the look on Victoria's face that seemed friendly, even very friendly.... It seems like soon she will be smiling wide and sweetly

"It looks like you're a bit of a bitch Bash"

Victoria smiled wide and very sweet which made Fredrick immediately alert. He knows what will happen after this.

"I'll help you"

The sound of Fredrick's amused clumsiness immediately filled his study. Jeremmy and Diana looked back at each other without meaning what situation she was in right now.

Shamelessly, Victoria immediately sat down on the chair next to Fredrick, quickly and with a sweet smiling lip that could not be refuted. Finally Fredrick nodded and asked Diana to make their tea.

Tea is in session. Jeremmy, Fredrick and Victoria were already sitting in front of a long table in Fredrick's messy study. After seeing everything ready, Jeremmy began to explain what they were doing. Fredrick appointed Victoria to be his scribe and recorded the words of the two men in front of him. Because it has been too long not writing, at first Victoria's hands feel stiff but after that she can carry out her duties well. In addition to taking notes on paper, Victoria also recorded all the important things in her brain.

Not feeling the sky start to darken, they did not realize it until a waiter came knocking on Fredrick's room to ask Fredrick dinner menu.

"It's almost Vic's night"

While massaging her hands gently Victoria nodded briefly.

"You're right Bash, I have to go back"

"Why come back?"

Fredrick's words made Jeremmy stop the movement to tidy it up and hold Fredrick full investigation. Victoria growling

"How much longer do I have to stay here?"

Victoria's movements make Fredrick join in teasing while looking at him with heat

"Tomorrow morning?"

Diana who heard and saw the two couples in front of her could only pray, praying for what. Jeremmy further accelerated his hands by putting his ears wide.

"Tomorrow in the morning. hhmm..."

Victoria's soft voice and slow movements made Fredrick gulp his saliva, even Victoria returned her gaze with no less heat.

"Truly tomorrow morning"

Raising her body gracefully, Victoria walked gracefully around the edge of the table with a gaze that stared fixedly at Fredrick

"But the job is done, Bash..."

Fredrick grinned

"We can make another job"

Braakk!

The loud noise of the perclamen box on the lid made Fredrick widest who followed the laughter of Victoria. Still in the rest of his laughter, Fredrick looked at Jeremmy

"Don't be too serious Jer"

Victoria nodded at Jeremmy as if giving her confidence. Then back to sound.

"Bash, I want to say something"

The understanding Jeremmy immediately lifted the box and semit, while Diana was already a sturdy tree that could never be moved from her place now. He would never let a rabbit into the den of a starving lion. And all of Diana's firmness was clearly visible in Victoria's eyes. Victoria had a warm smile

"In...."

"My Lady please...."

Diana's parched and worried face drew Victoria closer to her

"I'm just for a second. It's important in, she..."Victoria glanced at the grinning Fredrick. "He won't bite. Isn't that Bash?"

"Of course"

Fredrick's dramatic response made Diana even more uncertain but, after Victoria whispered something. Diana nodded and parted out in a gasp.

After Diana closed the door, Fredrick approached Victoria. Keep getting closer to make Victoria continue to rewind her steps to the back and cornered at the height of the table

"So... What does my fiance want to talk about?"

\=\=\=💚💚💚💚

Keep track of it, don't forget it...

Greetings dear all ✨
